Gu Lan nodded, her mood somewhat heavy. As someone who loves and is close to nature, seeing such a massive ancient tree riddled with wounds from corruption, it’s hard not to feel regret.

The two discussed briefly, devised a plan, and immediately began to implement it.

Fu Manman’s hair and beard turned golden as she summoned divine light from the sun, enveloping the ancient tree and the Celestial Cauldron Sect together. Under the eternal light, the corruption on the ancient tree had nowhere to hide and ceased to spread.

Jingyue and Yangyi felt the corrupt intent within them stop eroding their bodies and souls. No, to be precise, they were fixed in a certain state, which could not be altered.

Both of them, being well-versed, immediately thought of the Eternal Dao.

Fairy Jingyue was shocked, "Fu Zhi Dao has mastered the Eternal Dao?!"

Fu Manman didn’t hide her capabilities and nodded without saying much more.

Fairy Jingyue and Celestial Venerable Yangyi exchanged glances.

They knew that as the youngest Human World Executor Dao, Fu Manman had extraordinary talent and a bright future that was truly promising. Even so, they did not expect it to be this miraculous. It was beyond mere excellence; it was miraculous because it surpassed their understanding.

In the knowledge of these two Tribulation Immortals, the Eternal Dao was fundamentally an incomprehensible Dao.

Because it is the Dao of the Sun.

The Sun shines upon the world but is not of the world, so how did she comprehend it?

Once the state of the Celestial Cauldron Sect was stabilized, Gu Lan began cultivating spiritual resonance to dispel the corrupt intent lingering in the area. The natural spiritual resonance cultivated with the Evolutionary Dao could be called a nemesis of corrupt intent. The corrupt intent of the Decaying Demon Dao utilizes the natural laws of metabolism and the succession of the new and old.

But the Evolutionary Dao is the master of metabolism and the succession of the new and old.

Revitalizing the story of the Celestial Cauldron Sect, the disciples returned to their former selves bit by bit. However, those who had already died were irretrievable.

Still, this was already the best outcome.

Fairy Jingyue thanked them profusely. The fairy, usually indifferent by nature, was now so excited she was almost on the verge of tears. If it hadn’t been for Wu Wangxinger passing by and then the two Daoist and agricultural prodigies, the Celestial Cauldron Sect would have long become a wasteland.

Fu Manman consoled her, "Fairy Jingyue, there’s no need for this. Your contributions to the Fallen Immortal Land are evident to all, and we can’t let you suffer any grievances. I have informed the White Jade Capital about what happened in the Celestial Cauldron Sect, and they will provide assistance, ensuring this incident will not affect the sect’s development."

Gu Lan smiled and said, "Moreover, I have cultivated some spiritual resonance within this ancient tree. If there’s any further invasion of corrupt intent, you will be able to detect it immediately."

"Jingyue, on behalf of the entire Celestial Cauldron Sect, thanks both of you for your assistance."

Fu Manman humbly said, "The one you should truly thank is Wu Wangxinger. Without him, we wouldn’t have known what happened here."

Fairy Jingyue couldn’t help but ask, "Who is Wu Wangxinger, exactly? So powerful, he must be a renowned powerful figure."

Fu Manman laughed, "You will know his name in due time."

At that moment, a straight beam of light fell from the sky, heading directly for the Celestial Cauldron Sect.

Before anyone could react, a tall, straight-backed, handsome Taoist fell beside them. He appeared to be around forty, with a beard, a full face, and an outstanding temperament, an exceedingly charming Mei Rangong.

Fu Manman paused slightly, then stepped forward to perform a Daoist salute, "Greetings, Celestial Venerable Yu Chen."

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen!

One of the Daoist School’s four Little Leisurely Officials!

A truly peak-level powerful figure, skilled in countless Dao arts, existing carefree in the mortal world. It was rumored Celestial Venerable Yu Chen held the Life Dao and was also the Terminal Daoist of the Four Directions Dao.

Upon hearing it was him, Fairy Jingyue and Celestial Venerable Yangyi’s hearts trembled, and they hurried forward to greet him respectfully:

"Jingyue, Yangyi, greet Little Leisurely Official Yu Chen!"

Yu Chen chuckled and shook his head, "No need for formalities, we are all seekers of the Dao." Then, he helplessly said to Fu Manman, "As I mentioned before, we are of the same rank, no need for salutes or honorifics."

The same rank?

For a moment, Fairy Jingyue and Celestial Venerable Yangyi didn’t react, initially stunned, then pondering whether Fu Zhi Dao was perhaps a reincarnated powerful figure. Soon after, they realized what Celestial Venerable Yu Chen meant by the same rank was referring to the positions held at the White Jade Capital.

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen was a Little Leisurely Official.

Being the same rank meant that Fu Manman was also a Little Leisurely Official or a Little Freedom Official!

The two Tribulation Immortals were practically petrified.

How old is Fu Zhi Dao this year? Fifty?

A Little Freedom Official under fifty! Are we mad, or has the White Jade Capital gone mad!

The two trembled and wanted to salute Fu Manman again, but she raised her hand to freeze them in place, then said to Yu Chen:

"Celestial Venerable Yu Chen is a senior, and the younger generation should naturally show respect."

Yu Chen laughed and shook his head, "You still don’t quite understand Daoism. That Zhu Zixuan at your Wangxian Pavilion, you know him, right? He dares to relieve himself atop the Three Elders Pavilion of the Carefree Official and the Two Ancestors. And that Xue Youxuan, back in the day at the White Jade Capital, during Ancestor Qing’s lectures, she would sit in the front row and take a nap. Your sect leader, Primordial Transformation Celestial Venerable, is even more outrageous; he found his own Dao Platform uncomfortable and went to steal Ancestor Qing’s to use."

Fu Manman paused, "I know Celestial Venerable Zhu and Celestial Venerable Youxuan, did the sect leader really do such a thing?"

The sect leader, Primordial Transformation Celestial Venerable, seems quite serious!

Yu Chen shrugged, "Otherwise, how do you think those three ended up in the same place?" He chuckled, "So when the two ancestors from the White Jade Capital saw you, such a graceful and polite Human World Executor, their eyes almost popped out, and they tricked you into the Freedom Sky without another word."

Fu Manman didn’t believe a word of it.

This Celestial Venerable Yu Chen loves to talk about serious matters in the most unserious way.

Then, Celestial Venerable Yu Chen turned to Gu Lan, his eyes bright, rubbing his hands together as he asked, "Does this young one want to consider joining our White Jade Capital?"

Gu Lan was startled, "Celestial Venerable Yu Chen, please don’t joke like that."

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen said in a serious tone, "Our White Jade Capital is much more leisurely than the agricultural family, no need to face the loess with your back to the sky, you can cultivate into an immortal even while lying down and sleeping. If you join, I’ll let you have my position as Little Leisurely Official, how about it, consider it?"

Gu Lan forced a dry laugh,

"I still prefer facing the loess with my back to the sky." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen laughed, "It’s alright. The doors of the White Jade Capital are always open for you, you can come anytime. If the agricultural family won’t let you go, I’ll come and steal you away."

"No, no!" Gu Lan hurriedly waved her hands to refuse.

"Celestial Venerable Yu Chen, what brings you to the Southern Celestial Land?" Seeing Senior Sister Gu Lan unable to cope, Fu Manman quickly changed the topic.

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen smiled, eyes narrowing,

"You heard of the Heaven-shaking Thunder Sea at Rain Dragon Continent, right?"

"Yes, I went to see it before, it is very ferocious. If not for the Eternal Dao protecting me, I fear I wouldn’t be able to withstand it."

"That sea area has been uprooted."

"What?" Fu Manman was astonished and suddenly remembered that Wubing had told her that he was going to Rain Dragon Continent.

Could it be...

She couldn’t help but cough, "That person must be extremely formidable."

Celestial Venerable Yu Chen stroked his beard, "Indeed." His eyes sparkled with a mystical light, "The matter of the Celestial Cauldron Sect is known to the White Jade Capital, and they will send someone to handle it shortly, no need to worry. I’ll head to Rain Dragon Continent first, and young one Gu Lan, seriously think about it!"

Having finished speaking, he floated away.

Gu Lan brushed her hair, "This Celestial Venerable really is..."

Fu Manman rolled her eyes,

"Daoists all live as they please."
